7. talking about the drug addicts |
|
saying that was a lot of the violence there, junkies desparate for a fix. i get more and more cynical the older i get, but it's never enough to keep up. the war on drugs is a cruel hoax, designed to keep the market for drugs strong, the for-profits jails full, and the people desparate.

The methadone clinics, of course, were wiped out... as were sources for H, so, you know, people are going to suffer there.

8. He was superb on CNN this morning -- he told it like it is for 10 minutes |
|
and the interviewer (voice-over only, don't know who it was) was complaining just as bitterly. At the end they were both crying.
I only pray this newfound openness in the MSM can effect some action. And quickly.

Those beautiful beautiful people. And they are dying. Dying. That beautiful man.
I am so sad and speechless now. This day has put 9/11 to shame.
